The sour plum soup at the dumpling restaurant Xin껗 is very popular.
Among the customers who come to eat dumplings, only one in three will order a serving of big bone and kelp soup.
But after the sour plum soup is served, eight out of ten customers will order it.
First, sour plum soup is cheap, and second, it is sour and sweet and very thirst-quenching, and children especially love to drink it.
In this hot summer, people prefer to drink drinks with ice cubes. They are icy, sour and sweet, and are simply too refreshing.
One afternoon, the sour plum soup sold much less, so Li Shuping cooked another pot in the afternoon.
"Aunt Li."
At 5:30 in the afternoon, when the dumpling shop was just starting to get busy, Li Zhenzhen arrived.
"Hey, Zhenzhen." After collecting the money, Li Shuping went to greet her.
"Are you here to eat dumplings? I'll find you an empty seat."
Li Zhenzhen nodded, followed Li Shuping to the empty seat and sat down.
"What kind of dumplings do you want to eat today? We just ordered pickled cabbage dumplings and sour plum soup."
Li Zhenzhen: "Then I'll have a serving of pickled cabbage dumplings and a serving of sour plum soup."
"Thank you, Aunt Li. If it had been you who helped me out the day before yesterday, I would have known how to refuse my aunt."
Li Shuping groaned, "I just saw that you were in a difficult situation and wanted to go on a blind date, so I couldn't help but speak up. Just think I'm meddling."
"You are nosy, nosy, not nosy at all." Li Zhenzhen shook her head repeatedly, "Aunt Li, you helped me and allowed me to do what I wanted to do without violating my own will. I am grateful to you and it is not too late for me to complain about you being nosy."
Yesterday her aunt called her again and asked her to arrange another time to meet him, otherwise the other party would think that she was too picky and offended her uncle.
She thought that she had no intention of dating in the first place. If he went to her house to see her and she rejected him, would her family still think that she looked down on him?
It will still offend people in the same way.
She asked her aunt to find one herself, and used the excuse that it would offend her, since she was not likely to go on a blind date anyway.
Li Shuping smiled and said, "That's good. Please wait a moment. The dumplings will be ready soon."
Lin Xiaoyu saw her mother talking to a very beautiful sister for a long time, and the two seemed to be very familiar with each other, so she asked her mother.
"Mom, is that a pretty sister you know?"
Li Shuping nodded, "She is Mr. Li's granddaughter."
"Oh." Lin Xiaoyu nodded.
Li Zhenzhen's dumplings and sour plum soup were from Lin Xiaoyu.
"Sister, your sour plum soup."
Li Zhenzhen tilted her head and stared at Lin Xiaoyu, feeling that she looked very familiar.
"Are you two sisters?" The young female comrade sitting next to Li Zhenzhen looked at her and Lin Xiaoyu and said.
The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and shook their heads together.
The young female comrade smiled and said, "I see that you two look quite alike. I thought you were sisters with a blood relationship. It's rare to see people who look so alike even though they are not related by blood."
Li Zhenzhen stared at Lin Xiaoyu's face. No wonder she felt that this sister looked familiar. Did she look like her?
Not to mention, the nose, mouth and chin are quite similar to hers, but the eyes are not similar. Her eyes are more like Aunt Li's.
While she was measuring Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xiaoyu was also measuring her and felt that their noses and chins were somewhat similar, both with high nose bridges, petal lips, and pointed chins.
"You are Aunt Li's daughter, right? What's your name?" Li Zhenzhen asked with a smile.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoyu nodded, "My name is Lin Xiaoyu."
"My name is Li Zhenzhen." Li Zhenzhen said with a smile.
"Sister Zhenzhen, take your time eating. I'm going to go get busy first." Lin Xiaoyu said and left with a smile.
After Li Zhenzhen finished eating the dumplings, she packed two more to go. Grandpa and grandma had never tasted dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut, and they were sure they would like them.
Second courtyard
Qiu Jinyu sat beside the hospital bed, looking at her mother, who had intravenous drip hanging from the bed, her mouth open, and was breathing out more than in. She knew her mother's time was coming.
Her mother hadn't eaten for three days and only drank some water, and she was holding on by her last breath.
Thinking about how her mother had never enjoyed any happiness in her life, and that her life was better when she was young, but more difficult as she got older, she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Jin, Jin Yu..." A hoarse and heartless voice sounded, and Old Lady Jin slowly opened her eyes.
"Mom, I'm here, I'm here." Qiu Jinyu hurried forward.
Old Lady Jin's dull and lifeless eyes slowly regained clarity, and her gray face also regained some color.
"Help mom sit up for a while."
"Okay." Qiu Jinyu helped the old lady sit up and raised the pillow behind her.
Old Lady Jin sat on the bed, leaning against the pillow, and looked at her daughter and said, "Jin Yu, Mom wants to eat porridge. Go get me some porridge."
Qiu Jinyu nodded with red eyes, "Okay, I'll go buy you some porridge right away."
Her mother hadn't eaten for so many days, but now she was conscious and wanted to eat porridge. It was obviously a last-ditch effort.
Just as Qiu Jinyu was about to turn around to buy some porridge, her wrist was grabbed tightly.
Old Lady Jin widened her eyes with excitement and said, "Newspaper, remember to give the newspaper to Ping."
"What newspaper?" Qiu Jinyu was a little confused.
"You must give the newspaper to Shuping. It was me who harmed her. It was me..."
Before Old Lady Jin could finish her words, she widened her eyes, opened her mouth and breathed.
"mom!"
In a blink of an eye, it was the rest day again. Early in the morning, Lin Guodong went to invite the bricklayer.
The kitchen was divided into two small kitchens, and Zhang Jiao also had the door between Lin Jianshe and his wife's room and the living room sealed.
Open another door at the front so that they don't have to go through the living room to enter the house.
Liu Qin and Lin Jianshe naturally did not agree, and said that since theirs was to be sealed off, they should also seal the door of their main room connected to the living room.
The two parties started arguing, and in the end they insisted on sealing both doors. Sealing them was fine, but every room was filled with dust and smoke.
Today is also Mr. Li's twelfth birthday. The Li family did not hold a big celebration, but only invited some close relatives and friends to have a small gathering at home.
The Gu family's nanny was loaned to the Li family early in the morning to help prepare the banquet.
Li Yunshu went back to her parents' home the night before to help her father prepare for the birthday banquet and decorate the house.
Li Zhenzhen got up early in the morning and helped in the kitchen. She returned to her room to change clothes after all the ingredients were prepared.
The Gu family was the first guest to arrive, and Gu Zhenyuan, who had been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home, also arrived.
"Happy birthday, Uncle Li." Gu Zhen sent a box of high-end tea from afar.
Mr. Li took it, looked at it, and said with a smile, "Biluochun, I like it. Zhenyuan is thoughtful. Come and sit down."
As soon as Gu Jiaxi sat down, Li Jia's son-in-law Zheng Guoping came with his son Zheng Xinqiang and sister Zheng Guofang.
Zheng Guofang looked around as soon as he entered the room, but didn't see what he wanted to see, and a look of disappointment flashed across his face.
"Happy birthday, Grandpa." Zheng Xinqiang walked up to Grandpa Li with a birthday cake.
Mr. Li said with a smile.
"Dad, happy birthday. This is the birthday gift I prepared for you. It's French red wine. The taste is very pure." Zheng Guoping held two bottles of red wine in a wooden box and opened the box to show everyone.
Mr. Li took it with a smile, "You are thoughtful."
Zheng Guofang walked forward with a smile, "Happy birthday, Uncle Li. I wish you a happy birthday every year, good health, peace and good fortune."
"It's just a small token of my respect. Please don't despise it, Uncle Li." Zheng Guofang gave Li his own gift, a pair of high-end leather shoes.
"Thank you." Mr. Li put down the red wine and took the leather shoes in the paper box, smiling a little forcedly.
Old Madam Yu and Old Madam Gu looked at each other and raised their eyebrows knowingly.
It has always been the daughters-in-law and daughters who buy clothes and shoes for their parents-in-law or parents.
Zheng Guofang is a bitch, but he gave Lao Li a pair of leather shoes on his birthday.
She is still thinking about becoming the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
